      This function installs a default retry mechanism to be used in requests
      calls. The arguments are those of urllib3's `Retry` object (see
      http://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/urllib3.util.html#urllib3.util.retry.Retry).
  
      Examples:
  
          # use 3 retries, for default conditions only (network errors/timeouts)
          set_default_retries(total=3)
          set_default_retries(3)  # total can be given as a positional argument
  
          # use 5 retries, and add 429 and 503 responses to the list of
          # retryable conditions
          set_default_retries(5, status_forcelist=[429, 503])
  
          # use 5 retries with an exponential backoff factor of 1
          set_default_retries(5, backoff_factor=1)
